Before the military formation, Hao Yuan rode up to Yang Ji and said loudly: "Your Highness, there is something wrong with these Turkic soldiers."
"It is indeed very wrong." Yang Ji looked at the Turkic soldiers who were waiting for him, and he felt a little awe-inspiring. These Turkic soldiers were dying before, but now they seemed to have been given chicken blood, and suddenly became energetic. Could it be that the other side really planned to Can we die together?
After a while, Yang Ji saw the enemy troops putting out cattle and horses, and he couldn't help but said with a dark face: "It seems that the Turks are preparing to use the fire cattle formation and the fire horse formation to deal with us."
"Not bad." Hao Yuan looked at the steady stream of cattle and horses and said with a wry smile: "There are thousands of them at least."
"What to do now?" Yang Ji was a little frightened by this situation. He asked Shi Huaiyi to lead a group of Xianbei people to sneak into the Turkic army in the name of herdsmen. He originally asked them to burn the horse pen tonight, but who would have thought that the Turks would do it first? .
Although the Turkic cattle and horses exist head by head, they all have their heads facing this way. Even if they scatter in all directions after being lit, if hundreds of them rush over, it will cause considerable losses to one's side.
"Kill them!" Hao Yuan said coldly: "Let the Xianbei people avoid the front and kill them from both sides immediately. Let them withstand the impact of the fire oxen and fire horses. If they let the other side pull out the oxen and horses, they will be in big trouble. "
"Just do it!" Yang Ji told the soldiers around him: "Instruct Murong Yan to kill him from both sides and tell him that after winning this battle, all the population will belong to them."
Anyway, Yang Ji didn't intend to have these herdsmen, so he might as well use this to encourage the greedy Xianbei people. If they want benefits, how can they get it without a hard fight?
"Here." The soldiers followed the order and left.
…
Ashina Huaide on the opposite side looked at the eye-catching battle flag with the word "Sui" and wished he could burn it to ashes.
It was under the leadership of this battle flag that those damn Sui armies slaughtered the Great Lakes area until corpses were strewn across the fields and rivers of blood flowed; only those damn Xianbei slaves dared to rebel.
He secretly swore in his heart that as long as he, Ashina Huade, did not die this time, he would one day make the Sui Dynasty pay a hundred times or even more.
Seeing the Xianbei people's army split into two and preparing to charge here, Ashina Huaide sneered in his heart. If there were no Fire Ox Formation and Fire Horse Formation, he would still be a little worried, but the dog-like The Xianbei slaves rushed in at this moment, looking for death.
At this moment, there was a messy sound coming from behind. Ashina Wilde frowned and said, "What happened?"
A Turkic military general came up and reported to Ashina Huaid: "Khan, there are many cattle and horses at the mountain pass behind our army, and the herdsmen are applying butter and mutton oil."
The grassland between the two lakes also has some rolling hills, and behind them there is a raised mountain close to Harwusu Lake. It is the existence of this north-south mountain, so Harwusu Lake , Har Lake cannot be connected into one big lake. The grassland they were walking on was located to the east of this mountain range, where the silt deposits of Hal Lake were shrinking.
"I asked them to prepare fire oxen and fire horses. Isn't it normal for them to arrange this?" Ashina Wilde said displeased.
"But neither the cows nor the horses came forward. And..." the general said hesitantly.
"And what?" Ashina Wilde became impatient.
"And the heads of the bulls and horses are facing our side."
"What?" Ashina Huaide's face changed greatly when he heard this. The origins of his soldiers and herdsmen were complicated, and there must be many Sui soldiers and Xianbei people among them.
Maybe these people had received the order from their own fire oxen and fire horses to charge into the formation, and took the opportunity to deploy another formation of fire oxen and fire horses behind their own army, and then set off a fire from behind.
"Quickly shoot and disperse those herdsmen." Ashina Huaide looked at the Xianbei soldiers who were approaching, and his uneasiness became even more intense.
Just as the Turkic soldiers were preparing to disperse these herdsmen, many torches were suddenly thrown from the nearby mountains, spinning and falling into the herds of cattle and horses at the mountain pass.
The monstrous flames instantly enveloped the mountain pass. More than a thousand oxen and horses that were ignited first ran around the mountain pass. After hitting each other and killing dozens of them, they ran like crazy in the south, north, and east directions, and these animals whose whole bodies were on fire The cattle and horses were like fire, igniting the oiled cattle and horses of the herdsmen, creating more fire cattle and horses. These fire cattle and horses ran around everywhere, and soon ignited the cattle and horses behind the Turkic army formation. In an instant, he broke into the dense military formation.
At this time, Ashina Wilder's order had just been issued, and all the soldiers were facing south. Before they could react, they were charged from behind by a large group of fire oxen and fire horses. The already crazy fire oxen and fire horses were among the crowd. They ran rampant, turning the people killed by the Turkic army on their backs, and bursts of screams and wails instantly spread throughout the entire army.
When Yang Ji saw the chaos of the Turkic army, he knew that Shi Huaiyi, who had sneaked into the enemy army, had temporarily changed his tactics. He was overjoyed and shouted sternly: "Send the order and let the Xianbei people charge."
"Woooooooooooo..." The horn sounded loudly.
The Xianbei people who had divided their troops were like a stormy sea, heading towards the chaotic Turkic army.
Almost at the same time, Shi Huaiyi, who had set fire on the mountain ridge, led his commanding officers to shoot arrows and shout down the mountain. Although there were not many of them, and most of them were burned by him, the Turkic soldiers were already in chaos and could not calm down at all. Thinking about how many people there were on the mountain ridge, plus a group of fire oxen and fire horses colliding in the military formation, smashing the military formation into pieces, and in front of them, there were Xianbei people who were coming with great momentum. They felt like they were coming from all directions. They are all like enemy troops.
"Light the fire. Light the fire oxen and fire horses in front of me." A flash of madness flashed in Ashina Huaide's eyes. Since he couldn't escape, he would just die with the Sui army and the Xianbei people.
However, the Xianbei people who were approaching were raining down arrows, knocking off the soldiers in front of them. At this moment, the Turkic soldiers were just running for their lives and no longer listened to Ashina Huaide's orders. They saw the Xianbei people in the south and the Xianbei people in the north. It was a fire ox or a horse, so they fled to the east.
"Khan, our army is in chaos, run away!" Zhele rushed to Ashina Huaide with his wife and said loudly.
"How to escape?" Ashina Huaide said miserably: "Where can I escape to?"
"Escape from the east, and then join Tanhan Khan." Zhele saw the Xianbei people who had fired two rounds of arrows and rushed into the chaotic military formation, and said loudly: "If you don't leave, it will be too late."
"Forget it." Ashina Huade tried his best to direct the soldiers to flee to the northeast. On the way to escape, they were constantly knocked to pieces by fire oxen and horses. After finally gathering a group, they were beaten to pieces by some hard-hit fire oxen and horses. After a clean collision, when they escaped the reach of the fire oxen and fire horses, the entire army was already less than 3,000 strong.
In desperation, they had to abandon the chaotic group of soldiers and herdsmen and take the road north.
